History
Higashi-Yamatoshi Station opened on 15 May 1950 as Ōmebashi Station, named after the road intersection just outside, on the Seibu Haijima Line in what is now the city of Higashiyamato, Tokyo. It was renamed Higashi-Yamatoshi Station on 25 March 1979 to reflect the city around it, and the tracks and platforms were elevated on 17 July 1980. The station was assigned the code SS32 during the operator-wide station-numbering rollout in fiscal 2012. It has two elevated opposed side platforms reached by stairs, escalators and lifts, with the ticket gates and station building at ground level below.

Notes
The original name, Ōmebashi, referred not to a bridge but to the road intersection in front of the station, which sat on the old Ōme highway.
